Servo/Switch Solution
---------------------
- Connect a servo to the receiver
- Mount two micro-switches, one on either side of the servo, so that one
switch is activated when the servo goes one way and the other switch is
activated when then servo goes the other way.
- Run a wire from the positive terminal of the 12v battery to pin 86 on
each relay
- Run a wire from the negative terminal of the 12v battery to the
normally open (NO) terminal of each micro-switch
- Run a wire from the Common (COM) terminal of each micro-switch to pin
85 on each relay
A complete wiring diagram can be found here:

The servo would sit between the "Fwd Switch" and "Rev Switch" with an
arm or cam that activates them when it swings one way or the other. An
example of servo-activated switches can be seen at the top of:

and a different mounting style can be seen at:

I have finnnished my turret and gun for the T076 Sherman, but still
need to hook it up to the radio and reciever. Speed controls for the
turret motor, gun motor, and trigger mech are done by relays, but I
dont know how to mate them with my reciever.
these are the relays I am using

together?
